Holy crap what a piece of trash this show is. You know when you settle in to watch something you know is going to be a disaster, and it just goes so far beyond the level of garbage you expected into some other realm of toxic waste television? That's what I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is. The Bachelorette is trashy. The Hills is garbage. I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is radioactive and should be buried in a drum deep in the desert somewhere. I loved it! I bet I won't feel that way three nights from now when I've overdosed and started glowing in the dark, but for now let's run down the awesomely horrible and just plain horrible moments from last night's premiere, since the terms "good" and "bad" do not apply to deadly nuclear waste, which is of course all "bad." Alert the CDC, I'm makin' a list!
The awesomely horrible:
-- Patti Blagojevich floating down the river, with Janice and John Salley standing around ordering Heidi of all people to help her.
-- Spencer's speech about how he wants to always be the villain because one time the Academy Awards honored the recently deceased actor who portrayed the villain in The Dark Knight, so that means being evil is always something to be striven for in your real, non-fictional life. That guy. Professor Logic over there.
-- Sanjaya's new hair.
-- Speidi falling out of their hammock in the middle of the night.
-- The first time Speidi fake quit, Spencer's rant to NBC exec Ben Silverman about how he's far too rich and famous to be outside in the jungle with people he had to Google.
-- Why is Sanjaya kind of awesome on this show? He stole Speidi's hammock, seems to be able to ingest anything, no matter how disgusting, and the second time Speidi quit, someone said "I can't believe they're doing that," and Sanjaya was just like, "I can." I don't know, he had me rolling and rooting for him all night. It was like an out of body experience.
-- "I made that label! It took me all day!" -- Spencer.
-- Every time Heidi cried.
-- And of course, the rest of the cast divvying up Speidi's crap and making fun of them behind their backs when they quit was satisfying and hilarious.
The just plain horrible:
-- Patti Blagojevich soap boxing in defense of her husband was probably a ration of bull, but even if it wasn't I don't care. I don't want to hear about politics on this crap show, spin or not. And Janice and Speidi love Rod Blagojevich and would vote for him for President? What was happening in that scene?
-- Gross eating challenges in general. Obviously, the entire point of this show is that we hate these celebrities so much that we want them tortured, but I think as a nation we need to move past eating tarantulas on television.
-- Speaking of the gross eating challenge, vegans aren't supposed to eat rat tails, John Salley!
-- Spencer's freak out after he realized everybody had messed with their stuff, smacking at half of Frangela and drama queening out was just a little too fake for me. Of course both times they quit was fake, but this was over the top staged. Hated it.
-- "I can't not have sex with you for that long." -- Heidi, to Spencer. Yack.
-- All of Speidi's fake praying. Prayers just aren't really that funny most of the time, and they're pretty boring television, even when they're real. Get a new gimmick, you two!
-- The two hosts smugly making fun of the cast all night. It was like, I get it, you want to be very transparent about how much we hate these people and think they're worthless, but there's really little room for feeling superior when you're the ones hosting this bag of vomit.
Here's some Patti floating down-creek video action:
And some Heidi crying:
And Spencer being a nightmare:
So yeah, this show is awesome! Thoughts?

So are Speidi gone yet or not?
Rumor has it they quit, but are still out there so they can gimmick it next Tuesday.
All true, all true, especially about Sanjaya. I didn't watch his season of AI, but I knew he was lame. He's totally impressing me on this show. Oh, and Lou Diamond Phillips isn't worthless! He's there for charity! Or so I tell myself! I love him. :-/
the show is fake, its done on a hollywood set and the snakes, spiders, rats and everything else are probably filmed before they even get into the room. This is all fake, anyone who's been in the jungle knows you would get eaten up by mosquitos, funny how when they show them sitting there you dont see any mosquitos or bugs around them. FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!
I am from Illinois, and I wanna let the world know some things about "Poor Patty". First, she is just as big a piece of garbage as her hubby is. They tried to shake down a children's hospital for campaign contributions, and although Patty is not under indictment, Her voice is on the wire taps from the FBI investigations, fully encouraging her husband to get as much money out of people as possible in exchange for political favors.
Patty has an agenda here, which I believe is to taint the jury pool for her husband, as He (Rod Blago) was supposed to be the one on the show, but the judge said NO. Her husband is NOT a great man, as Patty proclaims. The guy made a big media mess against Patty's Father, his own father in law! Patty's Daddy is filthy Rich! He'd NEVER allow his grand-daughters to become homeless. And He told his poor little Patty, if she wanted help from him, all she needs to do is leave Rod. Her husband insulted many by commenting that Patty's lesbian sister, Deborah Mell was like Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, because she was a gay-rights activist.
The Ex Gov. of Illinois, and Patty's husband also has had public feuds with Patty's father, Chicago Ald. Dick Mell.
In 2005, Mell went on a tirade after Blagojevich's aides publicly linked him to a Joliet landfill that was shut down amid environmental violations. The landfill was owned by a second cousin of Patti's. The governor said he wouldn't let family ties stand in the way of him upholding state law.
Mell told the Sun-Times he regretted the day he backed Blagojevich for governor and hoped that his daughter -- who had "blinders on" about her husband -- would "wake up someday." See Full article Here:
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/blagojevich/1323293,CST-NWS-mell10.article
Ex Gov. Blago also in an interview with NBC, disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) compared himself to human rights heroes Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi ... King and Gandhi and tried to gain sympathy from the public. Most times, when someone is charged with major crimes, as EX gov Blago is, they stay quiet, and take care of it...But not Blago. He immediately went on a "Talk show tour" crying to anyone and everyone he could.
The family cries broke, but yet took the family to Disney world after he was released from jail on Bond. I am sorry, but if you are so broke, that you may lose your home, and need money for legal defense, you do not go on a vacation! The Blagojevich family is a Political family. They are as slimy and sneaky as they come.
Nothing they do is impulsive. They are calculated and cold blooded. These people are the first to Refuse to live in the Governors Mansion in Illinois, and the reason is because it is in Springfield Illinois, and the area is not a great area and the school district their kids would have been in, living there was predominantly minority.
Patty Blagojevich worked as a real estate agent, who was linked to Tony Rezko.
See Below:
The Chicago Tribune ^ | 5/20/05 | John Chase
Posted on Friday, May 20, 2005 4:19:35 PM by LdSentinal
A controversial fundraiser and adviser to Gov. Rod Blagojevich has had a business relationship with First Lady Patti Blagojevich for eight years, the governor's office acknowledged Thursday.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a Chicago developer who has been influential in shaping Blagojevich's administration and policies, has "worked on various projects" with Patti Blagojevich since 1997, said Cheryle Jackson, the governor's spokeswoman.
The disclosure marks the first time that the governor's administration has acknowledged the governor's family has a personal financial link with a key adviser who helped shape the administration and is now tied to a variety of controversies involving allegations of cronyism.
The revelation underscores the depths of the relationship between Rezko and the governor, as well as the level of access Rezko has been given to the administration.
Rezko was one of several Blagojevich associates served with grand jury subpoenas last week in an investigation into allegations that plum government appointments were traded for campaign cash, according to several sources close to the investigation.
Do yourself and Illinois a favor, Vote that manipulative little snot off the show, she and her husband are no victim.
By the way, incase you didn't know, the Illinois Children's charity that Patty had originally chosen for the show, said "No Thanks" to Patty's winnings from the show, basically, citing that they do not want to insult their Real Supporters!
Will Patty's Lies ever be exposed? Patty stated tonight that on "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here!", that the reason She and her Husband, Impeached Ex Gov. Rob Blagojevich never moved into the Illinois Gov. Mansion was because they did not want to "Uproot" their children and interrupt school. Well I have a Major Problem with that: When Ex Gov was first sworn in, Patty was still expecting the youngest Blago, which she delivered just months after her Hubby was sworn in as the Illinois Governor, in 2003. Their 1st born Daughter would have been just about 5 or 6...Just barely school age.SO HEr "defense" just does not Fly! They knew that they were a political family, and that Rod had his eye on the Gov. seat, long before, and they also knew that those same political aspirations may very well require them to move elsewhere, should they ever become realized. So are we to conclude that these two Cold, calculated, manipulators just shoot first then ask questions later? I think not. NOTHING THEY DO IS IMPULSIVE! They plan everything out. Patty is just about willing to say anything to paint themselves in a better light, including playing on Parental sympathies from the viewers to explain away the real reason they refused to live in the Gov. Mansion, and instead opted for Rod to commute to Springfield on the Tax payers dime! Many people believe that it is Rod and Patty's prejudices against the minority and poor population in and around Springfield Illinois that was the TRUE reason they chose not to live there. As for her remarks about Acting Gov Pat Quinn removing the security detail from their family just after the impeachment was passed, well, to be honest, Haven't the people of Illinois paid that family enough in all the damage they caused? Why should we, the taxpayers, be expected to pay for security for this family, when they themselves created the very scenario that caused the whole media and political Scandal?
All She is trying to gain sympathy & taint the jury pool, as her Husbands' days of freedom are numbered!
